Recently I purchased the new Bedside Lamp by Yeelight (Company that produce for Xiaomi). It's the upgraded version of the first release. The main change made in this model concerns the connectivity. Instead of only supporting WiFi this version has the ability to connect with Bluetooth. I can hear you thinking: Why adding Bluetooth if you got WiFi allready? Xiaomi will produce new sensors (like temperature sensors) that only contains a Bluetooth module. Products that have both WiFi and Bluetooth build in will operate as a gateway to those with just Bluetooth in it. Besides the connection the color of the bottom is changed from grey to bronze. I really love this lamp. It's Easy to use on both Yeelight and Mi home app. Controlling the brightness on the lamp itself is also fun to do.It looks great in my living room or in a bedroom.

You have any hesitation buying such an expensive light bulb, but this bulb is really a fantastic deal all around, it's shockingly easy to use ; just screw it in and connect your phone to it's WiFi and it sets itself up, it was easy to connect the light and now Siri will turn it off and on and change the color on voice command, i've only had this light for a couple of days but I'm already sold and plan to buy more for the other lights in the house I have it in the bedroom now, the only downside is the look ; I have it in an open fixture that's made of copper wire and it doesn't have that old fashioned look of incandescent bulbs, but when the light is on you don't really notice anyway and I think it's a small price to pay for this cool of a bulb, unlike some other smart bulbs, you can still use the light switch, I thought that wasn't important but recently went to my brother-in-law's house and he has the Phillips ones so you can't use any of the light switches, sometimes you just need it to work like a regular light

I would like to clarify one config issue that was not clear to me from the product description and LIFX website, you do not have to operate the bulb in the same network as your smart phone or tablet, I have an Internet of things IoT wifi that is separate from my normal WiFi, then you can switch back your phone to your normal network and still control the bulb from your phone, technically it means you control the bulb remotely all the time instead of via the local WiFi, the setup was quick and painless, this bulb also proofs to me that smart lights should not have to rely on a hub,'s decision to use the cloud as hub seems right to me, one word of caution : I look at smart bulbs as a complement to non smart light solutions, I would not rely on all lights in my place being smart to avoid sitting in the dark should the smart bulbs ever get compromised, overall still a great product

I have two of the originals which I was using as lounge lights. They are great but I am using Google Home and getting as much of my house smart as possible. Yeelights work brilliantly with Google Home so these have replaced the ones in the lounge and the originals sit either side of my bed where they continue to work well. These two lights connected up fast and without problem (far easier than the various smart sockets I have bought). The pre set scenes seem a little colder than on the originals so a little tweaking on the color scale was necessary. I thought I was not going to like the bronze bases but its a very subtle colour and looks better in the lounge than the originals did. If you are into smart things these are a must buy.

No, they are perfect but unusually GB forgot to include UK adaptors but fortunately I had a couple of spares

Great little light! I wanted some mood light for the living room, to create a nice atmosphere. I first considered getting the smart bulb and some lampshade, but decided to go for this as the price is about the same and the ease of changing the color by touch is a nice plus.Overall, the build quality is really good, the light is actually a bit larger than I expected. The touch operation works really well, it also nicely integrates with Yeelight app, Mi Home app and also Google Home. No need for any gateways, just add the device in google home (set up device, "works with google", find Yeelight, log in) and you can control it with your google assistant, google home mini or whatever :)I am buying more as bedside lamps in the future.
